    Yep, I had to REALLLY watch it. I was about as inked as possible while BARELY scraping under the AR 670-1 radar. A couple of years after I was out, they began allowing neck and hand tattoos (with certain limitations.) I'm not sure if they've rovoked that or not. But, it made me consider going back at weekend warrior status. The wife had other thoughts...

    They had to change the standards because the general populace is a lot more tattooed than it used to be and they couldn't get enough people that fit the old standards. The military does change with the times, it's just a bit slow to do so.

    Listen to your wife. Tattoos on the neck are allowed at the back of the neck. A line drawn down the neck from the ears back is what is allowed. The usual caveats apply like nothing racist or offensive.

    At the time I'd considered it, I fell within that. (only neck tattoo at that time was on the back.) And yeah, I decided pretty quikly my 5 years were enough.
